The Li Family also hoped to use the Old Madame's birthday this time to strengthen ties with other residences and re-enter the public eye.
"Congratulations, Marquis." Mr. Wu and Mr. Lu shared a glance and responded with polite smiles.
The Wu Family, Luo Family, and Si Family were the most trusted by the Prince of Ling. They knew clearly the Prince's attitude towards the Marquis of Li. Had it not been for the Old Madame's birthday, no amount of generous gifts would have enticed them to set foot in the Li Residence.
On the other side, Mrs. Mu was warmly holding the hands of Lady Wu and Lady Luo in conversation.
Both ladies were exceedingly polite, responding to the greetings of each lady present without revealing any information, successfully resisting the friendly advances of Mrs. Mu. They had regrets—why hadn't they learned from the Si Family and come later? It felt rather foolish to sit here smiling like wooden figures.
